My volunteer work in Gdansk, Poland started when I arrived in the Baltic city after completing my trip in Northern Scotland. I was quite surprised that there was a flight availability from Aberdeen, Scotland going directly to Gdansk, Poland and the price was quite affordable. I soon learned that many Polish people go to Aberdeen,…

After visiting Edinburgh, I was off to meet my friend Alice whom I met while doing volunteer work at Poznan, Poland. I would be staying with her family in their farm fairly close to Aberdeen, Scotland. From there, we would be hiking in the Muir of Dinnet, and exploring the nearby town of Ballater and…

Anyhow, read below to get a very rough idea on how much it cost to travel to each country. My complete Lithuania transit spending breakdown Flight from Minsk to Vilnius – $65.95…

It’s no surprise, I had an interesting and fun time visiting my friend who lives in Svendborg, Denmark. I met Signi while travelling…

While Andorra has a airport, other tiny countries in Europe like Liechtenstein, San Marino, and Monaco doesn’t have one. This means the best way to enter these countries is by taking…

This keeps happening to me. During my time in Europe, I’m always fighting against the clock to reach my accommodation. When I was in Bruges, Belgium, I barely made it to my hostel with 1% battery left on my cell phone. It was no different in Liechtenstein. I just finished travelling in Italy and was…

After much thought, I decided I would see the Colosseum first before heading over to Vatican City. Colosseum I took the metro…
